Seeds Treasure Gazania Mix Annual Flowers for Planting

Gazania, an Annual Flowering Delight

Gazania is an annual flowering plant that can grow up to 8-12 inches (20-30 cm) in height. With its beautiful large flowers in an array of captivating colors, this plant is a true sight to behold. The flowers boast a diameter of 2-4 inches (5-9 cm) and feature striking brown, black, or white spots around the center, adding to their visual appeal. Gazania thrives in sunny areas, making it an ideal choice for flower beds, borders, rocky hills, and terraces.

Planting Gazania: An Easy Endeavor

Sowing Gazania seeds directly into your flower garden is a straightforward process, but it's important to wait until all risk of frost has passed. Alternatively, you can start Gazania indoors, 6 to 8 weeks before the last frost. Simply sprinkle the seeds lightly with soil or press them firmly into the ground. Spray the seeds, cover them with foil, and place them in a warm (64-68°F) and bright location. Be sure to air the area and remove any condensation daily. Seedlings will typically appear within one or two weeks.

Gazania's Versatility: Annual or Perennial

While Gazania is usually grown as an annual, it can also be cultivated as a perennial in warmer regions of the country. However, over time, the plants may become crowded. In such cases, it's recommended to dig up and divide the clumps. Gazania can also be propagated by rooting cuttings.

Optimal Planting and Care

For best results, plant Gazania with a spacing of 9 to 12 inches. The ideal germination temperature range is 60-65 degrees Fahrenheit, with seeds typically taking 10 to 15 days to germinate.

Gazania plants are easy to grow and thrive in hot, dry weather. They even tolerate saline conditions. Gazania prefers well-drained, good to average, sandy soil. Established plants do best in dry soil conditions, so water them only during extended droughts. To maintain optimal growth, fertilize the plants every 4-5 weeks using a general-purpose fertilizer.

When the colder months approach, remember to bring your Gazania plants indoors before the first frost, and enjoy them as houseplants.
